A nation in search of jackpots

During the month of September, I have born witness to one of Tunica’s best “freeplay” casino promotions of all time. Every morning from 8-12 there is a giveaway at a Tunica casino for anyone willing to get a player’s card from their “destination club.”

All of the casinos send free play in the mail to their “special” customers. What makes this event unique is that over 90 percent of the people who show up are winning something. This provides a free chance to beat the casino without risking their own dime. By seven a.m a line starts to form, and by eight, it extends to the other end of the casino.
